Pros

Lots of technologies that you might use briefly. All the bad ones, implemented poorly, live on forever; the good ones go to die on the shelf. They joke about it! It's really sad, but the sales guys love it. Outside software sales that is. And the managers get taken out for lunch a lot too.

Cons

Management is thick and deep, and thick as a brick. They don't mind spending money ($Ms) on software, but not on their people. And don't be fooled by the headquarters bldg on Jefferson; All the Geeks work in an old dept store on Warwick that is more akin to the catacombs, complete with beggars and thieves (seriously!) with HVAC (!!! They sell what?) and black mold issues to round it out. This is not how to learn IT, implement IT or treat IT folks.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
